The paper introduces LiftXR, a geometry‑guided framework that first reconstructs a 3D anatomical layout from bi‑planar X‑ray images and then uses this layout to guide CT volume reconstruction. An anatomical parser refines the layout by analyzing the reconstructed CT, enabling region‑specific intensity calibration. Experiments on two public datasets show LiftXR surpasses recent X‑ray‑to‑CT methods and improves downstream segmentation performance.

The paper introduces Conditional Diffusion Posterior Alignment (CDPA), a method that scales diffusion-based sparse‑view CT reconstruction to large 3D volumes by conditioning a 2D U‑Net diffusion model on an initial 3D reconstruction and enforcing data‑consistency alignment. CDPA addresses high memory demands, limited 3D training data, and slice‑wise inconsistencies, achieving state‑of‑the‑art performance on synthetic and real Cone Beam CT data. The authors also demonstrate that the same approach improves fast denoising U‑Nets, delivering near‑diffusion quality at a fraction of the computational cost.

arXiv:2606. 02639v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We identify and resolve a previously unreported failure mode in TensoRF when applied to X-ray attenuation fields: the default density shift of -10, originally introduced for RGB scene reconstruction, suppresses density gradients and prevents sparse-view medical reconstruction regardless of learning rate or regularization strategy.
